Idk if I'll ever be able to understand the characters/writing in certain parts of this show.

As someone that is a girl, in my opinion, bullying between girls and guys is totally different. Not saying that a girl won’t throw punches because I definitely saw at least one fight with two girls in high school. For me the bullying was more psychological. It was stupid petty shit like you are a lesbian because you only hang out with this one other girl. i was shy. I didn’t have a lot of friends. I tended to have one or two close friends. I unfortunately became a 3rd wheel when said friend started dating. So of course the bullying changed to you are having threesomes. I will add that I remember being called a lesbian all the way back to elementary school. I was the weird shy kid that liked to read but I guess that was the best they could come up with. I never threw punches. I just ignored it. It’s was always other girls too. It was never guys. I can’t really speak on the whole destroying other peoples stuff as bullying because that never happened to me. It was always just stupid words. I am sure it happens in the US but it might be more of a cultural thing in Japan where taking care of your things is super important. Also I think the whole Uka telling Serena first is just a girl thing. Again girls are different then guys when they are with their friend groups. She wants to be friends with Serena and doesn’t want to hurt her. Uka has also never had friends so all of this is new to her. This is also a shojo so her telling Kai her feelings will take a minute. Shojo’s seem to go one of two ways. You have the ones where the feelings and dating are there from basically the start or you have the slow burns where that takes a while to develop. The slow burns can be the worst because you know the characters are going to get together and want to scream at them for not seeing it or you know not being able to communicate but that is the fun of it I suppose. Sorry for the big block of text.
